Question

I have read the Twiki support information concerning headers and logos, customizing skins, and the header homepage supplement. However, I cannot seem to modify the original header image to our comany's. I am definitely a twiki newbie, and I really do not have experience with any kind of programming, html or anything that might give me an insight to how this might work. I am just reading along and trying to configure the header.

First I tried uploading the gif. that I want as my logo and header to the Web Preferences page, which is what was instructed on the customizing skins topic as an attachment. After doing so I tried understanding the Set commands eg: WEBLOGOIMG; WEBLOGOURL. It seems as though WEBLOGOURL=/p/pub/BASEWEB%/WebHome is preset to Twiki's logo. I tried copying and pasting it to the webpreferences topic, to which the gif file is presently attached. When this didn't work I tried modifying the logo and header by filing in these set commands with the attachment's file name: companylogo.gif. What am I doing wrong? Am I to copy and paste the Set commands on the customizing topic sheets as they are? If not how can I type in a valid path to the image I want as my header and logo without hosting it on a website? I have no idea how to ftp.

twiki version VMDebian

I thank you in advance for your guidance.

Overload the setting in your Main.TWikiPreferences topic. Example:

   * Overloaded system wide [[%TWIKIWEB%.TWikiPreferences]]:
      * Set FAVICON = /favicon.ico
      * Set WIKILOGOIMG = %PUBURL%/Main/TWikiPreferences/intranet-logo.gif
      * Set WIKILOGOURL = %SCRIPTURL{view}%/%MAINWEB%/%HOMETOPIC%
      * Set WIKILOGOALT = Example company Intranet Home

Peter,

I have been attempting the same with our own logo. I uploaded the logo to our web preferences page (twiki/bin/view/WebSelling/WebPreferences) and changed the vars above as follows

      * #Set WEBLOGOIMG = %PUBURL%/WebSelling/WebPreferences/ccd-logo.jpg
      * #Set WEBLOGOURL = %SCRIPTURL{view}%/%MAINWEB%/%HOMETOPIC%
      * #Set WEBLOGOALT = CCDirect WebSelling

The only thing which happened is that the TWiki graphic disappeared, and the "Powered by TWiki" link stayed (as linked to twiki.org). What am I doing incorrectly? This is the Windows RC2 install of TWiki.

Thank you!

You can find instructions in PatternSkinCustomization.

Alexandra, did you actually enable these settings (by removing #)?

-- MartinKaufmann - 01 Feb 2008

The # commented out settings are likely the cause.
